System and method for automatic conversion from WAP client provisioning XML represented objects to OMA DM tree structure represented objects
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for converting WAP (wireless application protocol) CP (client provisioning) XML (extensible markup language) to an OMA (open mobile alliance) DM (device management) tree structure, comprising:
- converting an element of the WAP CP XML into an internal node within the OMA DM tree structure when the element corresponds to a characteristic element within the WAP CP XML;
wherein the element is associated with provisioning parameters of a mobile device that allow the mobile deice to communicate over a network;
converting the element into a leaf node within the OMA DM tree structure when the element corresponds to a parm element within the WAP CP XML; and
storing the converted elements on a computer storage device such that provisioning using the OMA DM is enabled.

Abstract
A method and system automatically converts a Wireless Internet Protocol (WAP) Client Provisioning (CP) objects to Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) objects. WAP CP is enabled according to XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and defines a standard way to bootstrap mobile device'"'"'s connectivity settings and application protocol access parameters using XML. OMA DM is also enabled according to XML and provides similar functionality, but is organized according to a mandated tree structure. The present invention automatically converts vendor specific parameters from WAP CP to OMA DM such that the vendor specific parameters are more easily managed by an OMA DM server and client.
